The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A calm, hands-on building simulation where you methodically assemble ancient wooden structures piece by piece at your own pace.

What players say

Players describe it as a relaxing sandbox for building wooden walkways across the landscape, with a focus on path-finding and harmony with the terrain. Some find the camera rotation and lack of a fast-forward button frustrating, while others enjoy the zen-like process over the outcome.
